| Message | Mr. Speaker, Whilst we agree with the first two proposals, we cannot agree with the last one, unless you add the stipulation that prostitutes are regularly checked and screened for sickness and disease. |
| Date | 23:27:06, June 07, 2011 CET | From | Bürgerlichen Soziale Union | To | Debating the Pornography and the Sex Industry Proposal of 3132 |
| Message | Robert Seiler steps up to the stand: "Mr. Speaker, We are once again insulted here in the Volkskammer and believed to be ignorant. Treating pornography as business? Prostitution being legalized and a profession? Both are more than a joke than reality. Pornography is often viewed by minors who are not controlled by their parents properly as well as by perverted adults who find it entertaining to watch such inappropriate and, quite perverted, videos and movies. Prostitution, has been a crime and should be a crime. It demoralizes our society, and is simply a bad thing for Dorvik to have to go through. We trust, that other members of the Volkskammer will reconsider this and vote such an absurd bill down! Thank you, Robert Seiler, Revolutionären Volkspartei Leader." |

| Date | 09:06:48, June 08, 2011 CET | From | Dorvik Christlich Partai | To | Debating the Pornography and the Sex Industry Proposal of 3132 |
| Message | Mr. Speaker, Even the Christlich Partai recognises that people have a freedom of choice even when we don't agree with. Sex is a powerfull temptation. Therefore, we can agree with the first two proposals, but not the third. That is to keep married couples from temptation. |
